Steps:

• For the steak: Place the wine, rosemary, thyme, bay leaves, onion, garlic and olive oil in a large shallow baking dish and stir to combine. Add the steak and turn to coat both sides. Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Heat the grill, remove the meat from the marinade, season both sides with salt and pepper to taste and grill 6 to 7 minutes on each side. Let sit 5 minutes and slice against the grain.
• For the vegetable platter: Brush the vegetables with olive oil and season the vegetables with salt and pepper to taste. Grill all the vegetables until just cooked through. Arrange on a platter and sprinkle with herbs.
• For the skordilia: Place the beans, garlic and lemon juice in a food processor and process until the beans are coarsely chopped. Add tahini and oil and process until smooth. Add some of the cooking liquid if too thick. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Scrape into a bowl and fold in the parsley and mint.
• Brush the pita on both sides with olive oil and grill until lightly golden brown. Cut into wedges.
